Please meet Dobby.
He is a cheeky boy. He is confident and outgoing. He loves a snuggle. He very rarely barks and is very affectionate. He loves meeting new people. He always greets them with lots of attention.

Dobby is very energetic and needs regular exercise, outings and mental stimulation to prevent him getting bored.
He has met a wide range of breeds and sizes of other dogs and he is very good with them all. Particularly plays well with bigger dogs who have a similar energy level. He likes to wrestle with other dogs so he's best suited to a dog similar size or bigger dog companion as he can be a bit rough with smaller dogs in his excitement. He likes to bite the ankles of other dogs.

He has not been around children other than at the park he does run over to children but is very gently. A home with no young children will be best.

He hasn't been around cats or other small animals so he will be best suited to a home without them.

Dobby has learnt how to sit, stay, fetch & is very good with recall. He does jump up on people and pulls when he's being walked so his new owner/s will need to be prepared to work with him through positive, force free training.
He travels very well in the car and is very calm.

He does not bark when his foster carers go out but being a young boy he can be destructive if given the chance. His carers remove anything that he could destroy. He is mostly left outside when people aren’t home. He is known to empty the recycling bin on occasions!

His foster mum says "Whoever adopts Dobby is very lucky to have such a loving and loyal friend."

Dobby is toilet trained, will make his carers aware by walking to the back door when he needs to go out.

Due to Covid lockdowns his foster carers have been working from hom so he hasn’t had to spend more than 6/7 hours alone and that’s only been on a few occasions.

If you match the type of home described we'd love to hear from you.
